We are seeking two experienced, compassionate caregivers—ideally friends or professional peers with similar backgrounds (not a requirement)—to live full-time in a large three-story home and provide consistent, high-quality care for an 89-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease. The position is 3 mos to 18 mos (negotiable), stable position for two individuals who work well together and value teamwork, structure, and providing dignified dementia care in a home setting.

Located in North Idaho, the home offers immediate access to skiing (at Silver Mountain Resort, with Gondolo directly from town and a waterpark), hiking and rafting along the Coeur d’Alene River. This role is ideal for caregivers who appreciate an active outdoor lifestyle during scheduled time off. The two caregivers also will have a third day-time person to provide additional care on scheduled days each week.

Overview

Our mother is social, mobile (uses a cane), and enjoys conversation and routine. She has Alzheimer’s disease and requires supervision, structure, and supportive prompting to remain safe, healthy, and engaged. She sleeps most nights from approximately 10:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. and rarely requires assistance overnight. Primary coverage will be coordinated between two live-in caregivers (these positions), one additional live-out daytime caregiver, and an alternate live-out overnight caregiver as needed. Scheduling is designed to provide consistent coverage while allowing sustainable time off for the live-in team. Compensation includes weekly pay plus private room, board, utilities, and household expenses. A valid driver’s license is required.
